War with Iran! Are you kidding me? says Dennis Kucinich



Don't we have enough wars that we're fighting in the United States? Do we need another war? Did I miss something that we somehow ran out of wars? ask US Congressman Dennis Kucinich.

We cannot pretend that the United States is in a position where we can, or have the right, or have the money, to rule the world.

We have enough time taking care of things back here at home, where we have 50 million people without healthcare, 40 million people who are out of work, millions of people who are losing their homes, and we're going to tell the Iranians how to run their country! Are you kidding me!

JOBS?

Join the military and go to war.

ENERGY?

Join the military and go to war.

EDUCATION?

Join the military and go to war.

Nothing for domestic jobs, a rational energy policy, and nothing for education.

Can it be made any clearer?

Vote these clowns out of office already!

We need to take care of things at home first before trouncing about the rest of the world.

We're wasting untold billions of dollars in Afghanistan, we're losing our connections with Pakistan. And Obama has stated he wants to start a war with Pakistan.

When does this stop?

I'd love to see the troops brought home period instead of making the corporate warmongers richer and richer and wasting money overseas.

We should put Americans first.

I'm not a pacifist mind you, i believe that if terrorists attack us we have every right to go out and get them.

And I'm not against charity or economic trade with other countries first.

But America needs to be our top priority and we need to fix our problems. I don't understand why our government has no willpower to fix them.

Like WE THE PEOPLE are even a factor in any decision by the United States to go to war!

I don't think our military industrial congressional complex gives a rats ass about anything on this earth other than their bottom line!

Yup. It's completely clear:

OUR INSTITUTIONS ARE INFESTED WITH GREEDY AND CORRUPT SOCIOPATHS.

All we have left are each other and OWS.
